2 World Trade Center
–
2 World Trade Center, also known by its street address,200 Greenwich Street, is an unfinished office building at the rebuilt World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York City. It replaces the original Two World Trade Center, which was completed in 1971 and was destroyed in the September 11 attacks, when completed, the tower will be located on the east side of Greenwich Street, across the street from the original location of the Twin Towers. The foundation work was completed in 2013, but construction is currently on hold, the original building was also known as the South Tower. When completed in 1973,2 World Trade Center became the second tallest building in the only by its twin. The South Towers rooftop observation deck was 1,362 ft high, the World Trade Center towers held the height record only briefly, the Sears Tower in Chicago, finished in May 1973, reached 1,450 feet at the rooftop. Throughout its existence, however, the South Tower had more floors than any other building and this number was not surpassed until the advent of the Burj Khalifa, which opened in 2010. Of the 110 stories, eight were set aside for services in mechanical floors. All the remaining floors were free for open-plan offices, each floor of the towers had 40,000 square feet of space for occupancy. The original Two World Trade Center had 95 express and local elevators, the tower had 3,800,000 square feet of office space. During the early years, various governmental organizations became key tenants of the World Trade Center towers including the State of New York. It was not until the 1980s that the citys perilous financial state eased, during the 1990s, approximately 500 companies had offices in the complex including many financial companies such as Morgan Stanley, Aon Corporation, Salomon Brothers and the Port Authority itself. The basement concourse of the World Trade Center included The Mall at the World Trade Center, electrical service to the towers was supplied by Consolidated Edison at 13,800 volts. This service passed through the World Trade Center Primary Distribution Center, the substations stepped down the 13,800 primary voltage to 480/277 volt secondary service, and then further down to 208/120 volt general power and lighting service. The complex also was served by emergency generators located in the sub-levels of the towers, at 9,03 a. m. EDT on September 11,2001, five terrorists crashed United Airlines Flight 175 into the southern facade of the South Tower. Three buildings in the World Trade Center complex, including 2 WTC, the light construction and hollow nature of the structures allowed the jet fuel to penetrate far inside the towers, igniting many large fires simultaneously over a wide area of the impacted floors. The fuel from the planes burned at most for a few minutes, but the contents of the burned over the next hour or hour. The fires might not have been as centrally positioned, nor as intense, had traditionally heavy high-rise construction been standing in the way of the aircraft. Debris and fuel would likely have remained mostly outside the buildings or concentrated in more peripheral areas away from the building cores, in this scenario, the towers might have stood far longer, perhaps indefinitely

5 Pointz
–
5 Pointz, The Institute of Higher Burnin or 5Pointz Aerosol Art Center, Inc. As of August 2014,5 Pointz was in the process of being torn down and by November 2014 the building had been fully demolished, to be replaced by a condominium complex. While 5 Pointz was across Jackson Avenue from MoMA PS1, it was not associated with the Museum of Modern Art, instead, it was private property and it had housed the Crane Street Studios, in which 200 artists paid below-market rents for studio space. A 450-square-foot studio was listed as renting for $600 per month in 2009,5 Pointz was described by an About. com contributor in 2008 as a living collage of graffiti art covering a converted warehouse full of artist studios. 5 Pointz had also been the subject of articles in such as The Christian Science Monitor, The Boston Globe, The New York Times. The building was constructed in 1892 for Neptune Meter as a factory for the construction of water meters. The property was bought in the 1970s by Jerry Wolkoff, who did not have plans for redevelopment. Wolkoff was approached in the 1990s for permission for the factory to be used for legal graffiti work, the site was first established as the Phun Phactory in 1993 by Pat DiLillo under a program called Graffiti Terminators. In an effort to legitimize the art movement and set a distance from the negative connotation and his rules included that none of the artwork submitted or showcased, would depict gang related symbols. Additionally, if any of the tags were found in the neighborhood or neighboring communities. DiLillo was also credited by some artists as the motivation for getting their GEDs. In 2002, Jonathan Cohen, a graffiti artist going under the moniker of Meres One, if unfamiliar with an artist, Cohen will ask for a sample of their work, and if it is a mural, he will ask for a layout as well. Cohen renamed the building to 5 Pointz, making the building a focal point to the art scene of the five boroughs and he had plans to convert the 5 Pointz building into a graffiti museum. The inspections followed an incident on April 10,2009, in which an artist was injured when part of a fire escape collapsed. The development plans include two towers with retail space and affordable housing, for which purpose Wolkoff wanted to demolish 5Pointz by the end of 2013. On October 9, the New York City Council unanimously approved the $400 million plan to build a 1,000 unit apartment complex with 210 affordable housing units included. The plan calls for 10,000 square feet to be used exclusively for art panels and walls in the building, including ground level facades to be used for curated graffiti. In October 2013 Cohen, speaking to The Guardian newspaper in London, made an appeal to the street artist

The site is across Liberty Street, to the south of the main 16-acre World Trade Center site, the project is currently on standby while the Port Authority explores a potential sale of the lot to a developer and also finds tenants to occupy the skyscraper. The Port Authority has no plans to construct a building at 130 Liberty Street, although it is open to development of the site as office, retail, hotel. In June 2007, JPMorgan Chase announced plans to develop the building as the headquarters of its J. P. Morgan Investment Bank. However, JPMorgan Chases acquisition of Bear Stearns in March 2008 put those plans in doubt, five World Trade Center was originally a steel-framed nine-story low-rise office building built in 1970–72 at New York Citys World Trade Center and was 118 ft tall. It suffered severe damage and partial collapse on its upper floors as a result of the September 11 attacks in 2001, the entire building was demolished by December 2001 to make way for reconstruction. The structure was L-shaped and occupied the northeast corner of the WTC site, overall dimensions were 330 by 420 feet, with an average area of 120,000 square feet per floor. The Chambers Street – World Trade Center subway station/terminal was located under the building, in 1984, artist Joanna Gilman Hyde painted the 10, 000-square-foot canvas titled Self Organizing Galaxy on the roof of 5 World Trade Center. Floors 4 through 9 suffered partial collapse and/or fire damage during the September 11 attacks, some of the collapse was due to impact from steel and debris from World Trade Center 1. Other collapsed sections were due to fire damage, portions of internal collapse and burnout were found on upper floors, mainly floors 6–8. The exterior facade suffered severe fire damage, the upper floors were on fire after the second tower collapse. A section of the fuselage from United Airlines Flight 175 landed on the top of the building, WTC5 was the least damaged building of the complex. The Borders bookstore was undamaged after both towers collapsed, the building, was the location of the Survivors Staircase, which was recovered from the buildings underground after 5 World Trade Center was demolished. The building was demolished by weakening its structure and using cables to pull down the rest of the structure. The last standing section of 5 WTC was removed by December 2001, the Federal Emergency Management Agency /ASCE Building Performance Study Team found that some connections between the structural steel beams failed in the fire. This was most apparent in the collapse of 5 World Trade Center, the structural failure didnt cause the entire building to collapse, as seen after the attacks that the structural skeleton remained intact. 2 World Trade Center will stand at the site where the original 5 World Trade Center once stood,5 World Trade Center was expected to be designed for residential or mixed use in the original master plan for the complex by Daniel Libeskind. The building was to have a limit of no more than 900 feet

7 World Trade Center
–
7 World Trade Center refers to two buildings that have existed at the same location in the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The current structure is the building to bear that name. The original structure, part of the old World Trade Center, was completed in 1987 and was destroyed in the September 11 attacks, the current building opened in 2006. Both buildings were developed by Larry Silverstein, who holds a lease for the site from the Port Authority of New York. The original 7 World Trade Center was 47 stories tall, clad in red masonry, an elevated walkway connected the building to the World Trade Center plaza. The building was situated above a Consolidated Edison power substation, which imposed unique structural design constraints, when the building opened in 1987, Silverstein had difficulties attracting tenants. In 1988, Salomon Brothers signed a lease, and became the main tenants of the building. On September 11,2001,7 WTC was damaged by debris when the nearby North Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed, the debris also ignited fires, which continued to burn throughout the afternoon on lower floors of the building. Construction of the new 7 World Trade Center began in 2002 and was completed in 2006, the building is 52 stories tall, making it the 28th-tallest in New York. It is built on a smaller footprint than the original, allowing Greenwich Street to be restored from Tribeca through the World Trade Center site, the new building is bounded by Greenwich, Vesey, Washington, and Barclay streets. A small park across Greenwich Street occupies space that was part of the buildings footprint. The current buildings design emphasizes safety, with a concrete core, wider stairways. It also incorporates numerous green design features and it was also one of the first projects accepted to be part of the Councils pilot program for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – Core and Shell Development. The original 7 World Trade Center was a 47-story building, designed by Emery Roth & Sons, the building was 610 feet tall, with a trapezoidal footprint that was 330 ft long and 140 ft wide. Tishman Realty & Construction managed construction of the building, which began in 1983, in May 1987, the building opened, becoming the seventh structure of the World Trade Center. The building was constructed above a Con Edison substation that had been on the site since 1967, the substation had a caisson foundation designed to carry the weight of a future building of 25 stories containing 600,000 sq ft. The final design for 7 World Trade Center was for a larger building than originally planned when the substation was built. The structural design of 7 World Trade Center therefore included a system of gravity column transfer trusses and girders, existing caissons installed in 1967 were used, along with new ones, to accommodate the building

Part of a former Interborough Rapid Transit Company line, it is referred to as the Grand Central/Times Square Shuttle. It runs at all times except nights, connecting Times Square to Grand Central under 42nd Street. It is the shortest regular service in the system, running about 2,700 feet in two minutes.

Its route bullet is colored slate gray on route signs, station signs. The subway through which the shuttle runs was opened on October 27,1904, in 1910, the platforms at the two stations were extended. A plan called the Dual System of Rapid Transit in 1913 was worked out with the Interborough Rapid Transit and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit companies, as part of the plan, the existing IRT subway would be reconfigured into what was called the H system. From 42nd Street, new lines would be built northward in Lexington Avenue and southward in Seventh Avenue, connecting with the old subway to form East Side, the leftover segment under 42nd Street was to be used for a shuttle connecting the two main lines. 400 feet was left between the end of the old station and the new station, and therefore a new station was to be built for the shuttle, ending close to the new station on the Lexington Avenue Line. Trackways were built continuing east under 42nd Street to bring the two tracks into the new station, which was a narrow island platform between the two tracks. It was expected that two tracks would be more adequate for the shuttle. The station was not ready in time, and therefore temporary wooden flooring was laid over part of the trackways at Times Square, the shuttle was heavily used, and the crowding conditions were so bad that the shuttle was ordered closed the next day by the Public Service Commission. The new, unused trackways of the station were covered with flooring. The shuttle reopened on September 28,1918, with improved passageways, Track 2 at the Grand Central station was covered over by a wooden platform. On the walls of the stations, black bands and green bands were painted to guide passengers to the shuttle platforms. The shuttle was meant to be temporary, and by 1920, throughout the history of the shuttle there have been proposals to extend and improve the line both to the east and to the west. However, it is not feasible to extend the line in direction, as the line is at the same level as the tracks of the Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line

The street provides access to the 85th/86th Street Transverse, which runs east–west through Central Park, in 1839, the Board of Aldermen approved the opening of West 85th Street between Fifth Avenue and Ninth Avenue. By the 1840s, a short length designated as West 85th Street had been created as a narrow lane east of Eighth Avenue, most of West 85th Street was laid out following the American Civil War. However, until the 1880s the rate of development on the street was slow, at that time, following an improvement in public transportation, people began to speculate on the property on the street. In 1971, John Corry of the Times wrote a series of stories about life on West 85th Street between Central Park and Columbus Avenue, no New York City Subway stations are located on the street itself. The building at 100 East 85th Street, originally known as Lewis Gouverneur and it was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1973, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.

86th Street (Manhattan)

86th Street is a major two-way street in the Upper East Side and Upper West Side of the New York City borough of Manhattan. The street was designated by the Commissioners Plan of 1811 as one of 15 east-west streets that would be 100 feet in width. Until the years following World War II, Yorkville on the East Side was a predominantly German community, the early settlement originally clustered around the 86th Street stop of the New York and Harlem Railroad. Since the late 1980s, nearly all distinctly German shops have disappeared, the street was commonly considered a boundary for public utilities. For example, different telephone exchanges at East 79th and 97th Streets served the north and south sides of the street, local number portability in the early 21st century allowed transferring phone numbers to either side. A sunken street through Central Park, the 86th Street Transverse or Transverse Road #3, miners Gate provides pedestrian access to the park at East 86th, and Mariners Gate at West 85th. The M86 Select Bus Service bus serves the street, until the 1950s, the Second Avenue and Third Avenue elevated lines served 86th Street on the East Side. The New York and Harlem Railroad used to operate an 86th Street rail line ran on the surface from Central Park West, through Central Park. The line then turned north and terminated at the Astoria Ferry landing at 92nd Street, joel, Jr. – inventor of the cellular phone John F. Kennedy Jr. – publisher and son of John F

96th Street (Manhattan)

It is one of the 15 hundred-foot-wide crosstown streets mapped out in the Commissioners Plan of 1811 that established the numbered street grid in Manhattan. East and West 96th Street are separated by Central Park, whose West 96th Street pedestrian gate is called Gate of all Saints and whose East 96th Street gate is called Woodmans Gate. A sunken roadway through the park, often called the 97th Street Transverse road or Transverse Road #4, connects the East and West Sides via 96th and 97th Streets. 96th Street is the boundary of the New York City steam system, the largest such system in the world. From the FDR Drive to First Avenue, 96th Street is the border of Zone A. When Hurricane Sandy hit New York City in 2012, residents on neighboring blocks found out they, too, were in a zone. Residents of the housing projects as well as high rise apartments in the zone were left without power. 96th Street rises after Second Avenue, and climbs from Third Avenue to Lexington Avenue – called Carnegie Hill – before leveling off at Central Park. The street is the dividing line between Yorkville and the Upper East Side to the south and Spanish Harlem or East Harlem to the north. East 96th Street, particularly near Second and Third Avenues, underwent significant gentrification in the late 1980s, by 2005, a wave of speculation for Harlem real estate pushed a corridor of luxury condos and coops up First Avenue from 96th Street as well. The Islamic Cultural Center of New York opened at Third Avenue, like all mosques, it is oriented toward Mecca, which required a slight shift in orientation from the neighboring buildings. On the West Side, 96th Street runs through a natural valley passing under Riverside Drive and it is regarded as the southern border of the nearby Manhattan Valley area. Broadway at West 96th Street was home to two ornate theaters – the Riverside and the Riviera / Japanese Gardens – each designed in the early 20th century, in the mid 1980s, parts of West 96th Street began to convert from rental units to cooperative housing. At the time, crime remained a problem, in 2009, Hogue escaped from custody and returned briefly to West 96th Street before being found and returned to treatment. Homelessness continues to be visible in the area, the rapid development of Columbus Avenue from 96th to 100th Street around 2009 resulted in a burgeoning concentration of large, national chain stores. In the 1989 film When Harry Met Sally, Harry and Sally are seen buying their Christmas tree from The Plant Shed, a long-established neighborhood store on West 96th Street, near Broadway. A year later, no longer a couple, Sally is seen buying her tree there, in the How I Met Your Mother episode Last Time in New York, Ted references some misspelled graffiti on the intersection of 96th Street and Amsterdam Avenue. The graffiti read, YOUR A P***S, which Ted then corrects to YOURE A P***S, notes Media related to 96th Street at Wikimedia Commons

116th Street runs from Riverside Drive, overlooking the Hudson River, to the East River, through the New York City borough of Manhattan. It traverses the neighborhoods of Morningside Heights, Harlem, and Spanish Harlem, the street was designated by the Commissioners Plan of 1811 that established the Manhattan street grid as one of 15 east-west streets that would be 100 feet in width. The western entrance to 116th Street at Riverside Drive is flanked by a pair of apartment buildings with curved facades, The Colosseum. The New York Times has said that the curves, a gateway as impressive as any publicly built arch or plaza in New York. The city never appropriated funds to buy the land, but the curves remain, the top of The Paterno is capped with an architectural fancy masking a water tower in a shape that conjures up a section of Mansard roof, complete with dormer window. It is visible from the gates of Columbia University at Broadway, the intersection of 116th Street and Broadway, is the location of the main entrance of Columbia University, the citys Ivy League school. Until the 1950s, the street ran uninterrupted through Morningside Heights from Riverside Drive to Morningside Park, the street had been ceded to Columbia in exchange for a payment of $1,000. The street is interrupted where it meets Morningside Drive, this time by the steep downward slope of Morningside Park. The main, east-west thoroughfare portion of 116th Street begins at the edge of Morningside Park. A large West African immigrant community has developed in central Harlem with stores, bakeries and this community has been called Little Senegal or Le Petit Senegal. At Lenox Ave. the street runs past the Malcolm Shabazz Mosque, the building was erected as the Lenox Casino. East of Fifth Avenue, 116th Street has historically been the business hub of Spanish Harlem. From Lexington Avenue to First Avenue, the street is lined with businesses selling food, clothing, East 116th Street terminates at FDR Drive, the site of the East River Plaza, a retail mall complex with large commercial tenants Costco, Target, Best Buy and Marshalls.

It is often considered to be the Main Street of Harlem, and is co-named Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. Notable buildings along 125th Street include the Apollo Theater, the Adam Clayton Powell Jr, the street was designated by the Commissioners Plan of 1811 that established the Manhattan street grid as one of 15 east–west streets that would be 100 feet in width. East of Morningside Avenue it runs east–west through central Harlem to Second Avenue, however, 125th Street continues to First Avenue, where it connects to the southbound FDR Drive and the Willis Avenue Bridge. West of Convent Avenue, 125th Street was rerouted onto what was, prior to 1920, what remains of the original alignment of 125th Street was renamed La Salle Street at that time. The remaining blocks run between Amsterdam Avenue and Claremont Avenue, a block of the original 125th Street in this area was de-mapped to make the super-blocks where the Grant Houses projects now exist. A proposal to convert the street into a Trans-Harlem Expressway died when funds were diverted from the proposed 125th Street Hudson River bridge at the western end. Beginning in the late 1990s, many sections of 125th Street have been gentrified and developed with such stores as MAC Cosmetics, Old Navy, H&M, CVS/pharmacy, and Magic Johnson Theaters. In collaboration with the community, the city has developed a plan for the 125th Street corridor focusing on reinforcing and building upon its strengths as an arts and cultural corridor. A rift in the crust runs along underneath this street from the East River to New Jersey and is known as the 125th Street Fault or the Manhattanville Fault. It is suspected to have caused a magnitude-5.2 earthquake in 1737, riverside Drive also elevates to cross over the fault valley. The following New York City Subway stations are located at 125th Street, the planned Second Avenue Subway will turn on 125th Street, serving a station at Lexington Avenue that would be the terminal for the second phase of the line and connect to the preexisting station. As of 2011, former president Bill Clinton maintains an office on 125th Street, notes Media related to 125th Street at Wikimedia Commons

168th Street, is an underground New York City Subway station complex shared by the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line and IND Eighth Avenue Line. Another set of elevators connecting the IND platforms and tracks to the mezzanine, the IRT section is not ADA accessible since the platforms have no elevators. In 2005, the station was added to the National Register of Historic Places, the part-time side at the north end of the mezzanine has HEET turnstiles and three staircases, two to the southwest corner of Broadway and 169th Street and one to the northwest corner. The passageway leading to the IRT elevators is just beyond the full-time fare control area, there are two exit stairs past this part-time fare control area, both of which diverge in opposite directions near the southwest corner of Broadway and 168th Street. This passageway was closed in the 1980s for safety reasons and this area is now used for New York City Transit employees only. 168th Street on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line has two tracks and two side platforms, the West Side Branch of the first subway was extended northward to a temporary terminus of 221st Street and Broadway on March 12,1906 with the station at 168th Street not yet open. This extension was served by trains operating between 157th Street and 221st Street until May 30,1906 when express trains began running through to 221st Street. The 168th Street station opened for service on April 14,1906, in 1948, platforms on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line from 103rd Street to 238th Street were lengthened to 514 feet to allow full ten-car express trains to platform. Previously the stations could only platform six car local trains, the platform extensions were opened in stages. On April 6,1948, the stations from 103rd Street to Dyckman Street had their platform extensions opened, with the exception of the 125th Street, which had its opened on June 11,1948. The station was served by Seventh Avenue express trains from 1906 to 1959, from 1989-2005, the 9 service, a skip-stop variant of the 1, went to the station. This deep station has an arched tiled ceiling and white globe lights on ornate fixtures hanging from the walls.

Contrary to the express station layout, the inner tracks serve the C local trains while the outer tracks serve the A express trains. This is to make it easier for C trains to terminate here, south of this station, the outer tracks descend to a lower level below the inner tracks, creating a two-over-two track layout. North of the station, the tracks continue north under Broadway to 174th Street Yard while the outer tracks turn sharply under Fort Washington Avenue before continuing to Inwood–207th Street
